Call for Papers

The Wayne State University Symposium on Scholarly Editing and Archival Research is an interdisciplinary conference inviting new perspectives on current practices in the editing and presentation of literary texts in all media. The symposium will take place at Wayne State University at the McGregor Memorial Conference Center on Thursday, September 26, 2013. All events are free and open to the public.

In what ways do opportunities made possible by digital environments inform editorial choices for both screen and page? How has archival research been affected by digital tools? What new literary, hermeneutic, and scholarly projects are now possible? To what degree do new approaches and methods of editing texts challenge existing narratives of criticism and literary history? We invite abstracts of no more than 500 words on these subjects as well as the following broad topics:
